I've got a quick question, that i cannot find the answer to. Looking at a spell like lesser restoration, it's says that it's "Level: Clr 2, Drd 2, Pal 1". This means, that it's a second level spell, and a first level spell the same time.
Now, when crafting a scroll, a potion or a wand with a spell like this, it's cost is determined by the spellcasters level, as well as by the level of the spell. Does this mean that i can use the cost as if lesser restoriation was first level, and i was a sixth level paladin, or do i have to be cleric 3 and spell level 2?
I know that it doesn't seem to be that much of a difference, but, for infusions like spell storing item it can save some xp, as well when it comes to dc to craft certain items.
Thanks in advance!

An Artificer can choose to use the lowest-level source of a spell for crafting purposes. This is one of the key advantages Artificers have when crafting, since certain classes like Trapsmith have lower-level versions of many common spells, letting Artificers make items from them earlier and cheaper. Some DMs do frown on this tactic however.
